RNC Response To Clinton's Visit To Colorado

With Hillary Clinton out in Denver wanted to remind you that there were a flood of discounted tickets available for today’s event, because we all know she won’t say anything or do anything that could remotely come back to haunt her. For example, she never criticized President Obama for how he’s handling his mess at the VA and has remained silent about his latest job-killing regulation against the coal industry that will kill jobs and force energy rates to increase.

If you’re reporting on Clinton’s event today, below is a statement from the Republican National Committee (RNC):

“With the black market flooded with discounted tickets for today’s event, it’s clear Coloradans aren’t quite ready for Hillary Clinton. Given her inability to criticize President Obama regarding his Veterans Affairs’ scandal or come out against his EPA regulation – that will kill 224,000 jobs and force energy rates to skyrocket – who can blame them for skipping another Hillary speech that’s lacking substance.” Jahan Wilcox, RNC Spokesman
